I have seen endless reports like this from every news source, labs, you name it.

I've seen the same. We share this observation.

Plastics aren't just shopping bags. Plastics are used in clothing, machinery, solid state electronics, literally everywhere. You can't just ban a material that's been essential to the world economy for the past century, you have to replace it with something

California finally did it for plastic bags other states have done it as well. Nationwide plastic bags and single use bottles need to be banned.
